Axel just always gets a horrible seed. There's tons of characters he could beat in these contests.

Kratos Aurion sucks, but I think Suckboy is even worse.

Anyway, I sure hope Chris Redfield gets off that list, for his and his sister's sake.

And for fun, characters who have been in every contest to date in which they were eligible (bold indicates that they've won at least one match in every contest they've been in):

1. Link
2. Cloud Strife
3. Sephiroth
4. Mario
5. Samus Aran
6. Solid Snake
7. Crono
8. Mega Man
9. Sonic the Hedgehog

10. Alucard
11. Dante
12. Gordon Freeman
13. Squall Leonhart
14. Kirby
15. Tidus
16. Ryu (Street Fighter)

Pretty exclusive club. Dante and Ryu are the only characters outside the Noble Nine to have a win every contest, too.

Why do you have 2009 down?

I put it there if they're in the contest this year, and the question mark was there if they haven't had a match yet (As if to ask, "Will the streak continue or will it come to an end?"). Oh, and I forgot to add Spy and Nathan Drake to that list (2008, 2009 for both).

Characters who will be added to that list if they don't win this year:

Professor Layton (2008, 2009)
Niko Bellic (2008, 2009)
Heavy (2008, 2009)
Travis Touchdown (2008, 2009)
Neku Sakuraba (2008, 2009) - Might as well go ahead and consider him part of that group, and Laharl gets removed from this group!
Sackboy (2008, 2009)
Protoman (2004, 2009)
Commander Shepard (2008, 2009)
Big Daddy (2008, 2009)
Akuma (2007, 2009)

CATS has been in every contest (except, tragically, this one) and he's never won a match.

He did beat Drake though!


We'll call the vote-ins making the contest, just to stretch the definition for CATS.

LeonhartFour | Posted 1/28/2010 4:25:29 PM | message detail
Although I guess a "win" is kind of stretching it for some characters because I consider advancing past round 1 of a 4-way contest a "win," even if you finished 2nd.

I'm pretty sure everyone considers 2nd place a win in 4-ways.

LeonhartFour | Posted 1/28/2010 4:28:28 PM | message detail
Yeah, I'm just saying it could be considered a technicality. Heck, if you don't consider it a "win," then Ryu hasn't won a match every contest because he only came in 2nd last year.

I'm not feeling that confident about Arthas anymore. I mean, Kefka has almost everything going in his favor:

-Better pic than he normally gets
-Night match
-New game
-Arthas not benefiting from hype like last contest.


Although Arthas does have his GAME FUEL, as there was a Mountain Dew Game Fuel released in 2 flavors last year to promote WoW.
